Funny how Labour’s 1% hike on NI was a “jobs tax” that every CEO in the country seemed to want to scream about and sign carefully staged letters about, but now a 2.5%
rise in VAT is being introduced by this shambles of a government with barely a word from the Stewart Roses and Philip Greens of this world.

Found anyone who thinks it’s a really good idea to put an extra tax on consumption when we’re in a recession? No, thought not.

Too many sheep in this country, and I don’t mean the brainy ones in fields.
